Abstract

Global health advocates often speak the language of eradication. It is reassuring to see the Editors of The Lancet Global Health turn their attention to another eradication effort: that of so-called parachute researchers and parasitic research (June issue).1 The Editors raise the important issue of exploitative research activities, from which individuals from predominantly high-income countries extract data and knowledge from predominantly low-income and middle-income countries without due acknowledgment of local partners and collaborators.
